Thank you kindly...

Jul 16, 2012 15:59 | #8 In searching for answers since posting, I have learned, the advantage of the 1.4 III over the II is its better on the edges. It went on to say that if you use a cropped camera and you crop, it wont make a difference. Conversely if you use a FF it will make a difference..

Most people agree it's not worth the premium with the 1.4x to get the III over the II... But for the 2x, it is. This.
